French Interior Minister’s Ramadan Greeting Message Draws Ire
On Saturday, France’s interior minister denounced racist comments, defending his greetings to French Muslims commemorating the start of Ramadan.
Gerald Darmanin condemned the “ordinary racism” of people for his April 1 tweet wishing all Muslims in France a “happy Ramadan.”
The controversial French Minister has announced shutting down 92 mosques in 2021.
In January, Al Jazeera reported that a group of lawyers, NGOs and religious bodies from 13 countries submitted formal complaints to the United Nations Human Rights Council.
These called for action against France’s “breadth of state abuse against Muslims” stretching back more than two decades.
